Studies have reported elevated levels of oxidative stress markers, such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) [40] in Type 2 diabetes, while a negative correlation between oxidative stress and LTL has been demonstrated [26,41]. The gene discussed is SOD1; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
